  Hidrogeología Aplicada a Proyectos de Cooperación Internacional al Desarrollo y Emergencias / 6ª Edición / curso de formación continua a distancia

  Hydrogeology Applied to Projects of International Development Cooperation and Emergencies. The objective of the course is the training and professionalization of cooperators in the field of groundwater. In this course we study the fundamental concepts of hydrogeology and discuss the most specialized hydrogeology in cooperation projects, which contains theoretical and applied aspects, which present practical examples and the tools and technologies most appropriate to the available media and the territory in which we should work.

  Price: € 2.000,00 (10% off for students who having performed and concluded other courses at FCIHS or at Escuela del Agua)

  Principles and application of catchment-scale flow and transport modelling in groundwater

  Introduction to catchment-scale groundwater modelling and training to different modelling suites (HP1-PHREEQc, FEFlow and HydroGeoSphere). The aim of this 4 day winter school is to demonstrate the practical application of commonly-used advanced numerical modelling tools for the investigation of flow and reactive solute transport in groundwater at the catchment-scale, with special focus on nutrients and other types of agrichemicals. The course will cover theoretical aspects of flow and transport modelling, and the use of appropriate modelling tools in specific contexts. Participants will be introduced to modelling applications using lectures, practical exercises, computer-based simulations and keynote talks on research case studies focused on catchment-scale reactive transport modelling of pollutants in groundwater and connected aquatic systems. An introduction to modelling the fate of stable isotopes in groundwater will also be provided.
  
  The course will provide participants with a wider understanding of modelling issues related to impacts of nutrients and agricultural activities on soils, groundwater and drinking water, and within European countries from different perspectives. Participants will gain insight into state-of-the-art modelling techniques necessary to interpret pollutant and nutrient cycles and agrichemical impacts in environmental systems.
  
  The winter school is presented by the INSPIRATION Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network (www.inspirationitn.eu). After attending this winter school, participants will be able to:
  
  1. Understand the principles and limitations of subsurface flow and transport modelling in general and applied specifically to the case of nutrients and other agrichemicals
  2. Develop an adequate conceptual site model related to real cases of soil and groundwater contamination for the purpose of using a numerical model
  3. Understand key components used for model development and the analysis of results, such as inverse modelling and automatic calibration or model sensitivity analysis
  4. Apply the specific modelling tools to investigate and interpret the subsurface fate and transport of contaminants in relevant and realistic scenarios.

  Curso Internacional de Hidrología Subterránea versión a distancia – semipresencial / Instituto de Hidrología de Llanuras – Azul – Argentina (CIHS-d-IHLLA) / 2ª Edición / curso de postgrado

  Groundwater Hydrology. This On-line postgraduate course also has three weeks of presential seminars in Azul (Argentina). It aim is to present the theoretical and practical bases of groundwater hydrology, so that they are directly applicable to the various real situations that can be presented, emphasizing the hydrogeological criterion on the simple application of rules . The course is oriented to the study of groundwater systems theory: exploration and exploitation, contamination processes and possible remediation, planning and management, as well as knowledge of the interrelationship with other phases of the hydrological cycle and with the environment.
